[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it even possible to get such a ratio of native speakers in DC? Though I know they could do better than they are now...but let's face it, the number if Spanish-speaking kids in DC is way higher.[/quote] I think geography plays a role, too. Lower-income Hispanic households are very well represented in east of the park NW, where it's possible for a startup charter to be able to afford space for a school. YY tried like crazy to find space near Chinatown (where not all Chinese immigrants live, but which does have a critical mass). But the excess DCPS building they applied for was granted to developers instead, and the school wound up in a location that's pretty inconvenient to Chinatown (and many other neighborhoods too...).[/quote]
